I am not so good about posting on here or the social medias. I would rather my time be spent on writing and getting stuff done!
So you, my loyal fans and countrymen, I owe you an update.
The biggest news is we have started pre-production for the Second Season of Samwel Sift. The first table read of the second season was last night and it went great. The plan is to have 10 episodes. Unlike, the first season, the whole season will not be one Case. In the second season we will have 4 stand-alone (but interrelated) cases. The goal for the second season is to really explore the Universe and build a cast.
I think I might move a little slower than many audio drama’s. I would like to pretend that is because I care about quality and not that I work slow. We will be recording in November to March and releasing our first episode in February of 2020. Or at least, that is the plan!
In other news, we got a $5,000 grant from the Knight Foundation to do the second season. This is awesome, and will allow us to pay our actors $2,500 and our sound enginners $2,500.
We also got accepted into the Austin Film Festival Audio Drama as a “second rounder.” This means we get the general notes they made as they debated us. My guess is the first person who read our script, pass it on to the second round. Then in the second round, the vote on what they like. I am supposed to get notes from this second discussion, which I think will be great. Plus I have never been to Austin.
I should be happy somebody wrote this on the form letter, right?
